Motion Math pages 8 & 9 in your little book Solve the following problems. Show all your work and attach additional paper if necessary. Write the formulas in the provided boxes to help. Remember to include the correct units.

Speed & Average Speed Speed Formula: S= D/T

1.Nascar driver, Jeff Gordon, has a car that is one of the fastest on the circuit. If it travels 600 miles in 4 hours, what is his cruising speed? D/T = S 600 MILES/4 HOURS = 150 mph

2. The fastest car on Earth, a German-made Thrust SSC, would win every Nascar race in America. If it takes 0.5 hours (30 minutes) to travel 380 miles, what is its speed? D/T = S 380M / 30 min = miles/min

3.The fastest train on Earth, the TGV from France, can travel at faster speeds than trains in the United States. During a speed test, the train traveled 800 miles in 2.5 hours. What is its speed? D/T = S 800 m / 2.5 hours = 320 mph

4. How fast was a plane flying if it traveled 400 km in 30 min? D/T = S 400 km / 30 min = km/min

5. A Hummer travels at a speed of 50 mi/hr for 4 hrs. How far did the car travel? S x T = D 50 mph = D / 4 = 200 miles 50 x 4 = 200 miles

6. The fastest plane ever made, the Lockhead SR71, was able to travel 2200 miles per hour. Based on this speed, how far could it travel in:

a.2 hours S x T = D 2200 = D/2 = 4400 MILES

b.3 hours? S/T = D 2200 = D/3 = 6600 MILES

c.5 hours? S x T = D 2200 = D/5 = 11,000 MILES 2200 x 5 = 11,000

Velocity Velocity Formula: V= D/T

7. A car traveled 1025 km from El Paso to Dallas in 13.5 hr. What was its average velocity? V= D/T 1025 km / 13.5 hours = km/hr toward Dallas

8. A student walks 10 blocks to a computer store (Assume all the blocks are equal length.) a. How long will it take him to reach the computer store if he walks 3 blocks in 2 min? D/V =T 3 blocks / 2min = 1.5 blocks per minute 1.5 = 10 blocks/time = 6.67 minutes

b. What is his average velocity? V= D/T 1.5 blocks / minute toward the computer store

9. A cheetah runs at a velocity of 88 ft/sec for 40 seconds. How far does this cheetah run? D= T x V 88 ft/sec = D/40 D=3520 feet

Acceleration Acceleration Formula: A= V f - V i T

10. Twenty seconds after a soccer ball is kicked (initial velocity = 0), its velocity is 32 m/s. What is its acceleration? A = m/s 20 32/20 = 16/10 = 1.6 m/s 2 A= V f - V i T

11. A driver starts his parked car and within 1 minute reaches a velocity of 30 mph as he travels east. What is his acceleration? A = 30-0 mph = 60 min/ 1 hr = 1800 m/h 2 1 min A= V f - V i T

Random – Find the missing variable

12. V = 40 mi/hr t= 3 hrs. D=? V = D / T or D= V x T 40 = D/3 or D= 40 x MILES =D

13. A = 9.8 m/s 2 t= 3 hr V=? A = V / T or V =A x T 9.8 = V/3 V = 29.4 M/S

14.t = 5 hr d= 100 m. V=? V = D/T = 100 m / 5 hr = 20 meters / hr

15. V = 100 mi/hr d= 400 mi t= ? V = D/T or D/V=t = 100 m / hr = 400 miles / t t = 4 hrs

Extra Little Book Motion Graphs

ANSWER: Graph A

ANSWER: Graph D

Graph A matches #2: The car is traveling at a constant speed Graph B matches #3 The speed of the car is decreasing Graph C matches #1 The car is stopped. (no additional distance is occurring) Graph D matches #4 The car is coming back

Pg 10 Graph E matches: #7:accelerating Graph F matches: #8:slowing down Graph G matches: #6:constant speed Graph H matches: #5: car is stopped

Putting it All Together 1.Which runner won the race? 2.Which runner stopped for a rest? 3.How long did he stop for? 4.How long did it take Bob to complete the race? 5.Calculate Albert’s avg. speed

Putting it All Together 1. Which runner won the race? -Albert won the race. He reached 100 meters first. 2. Which runner stopped for a rest? -Charlie stopped for a rest at 50m. 3. How long did he stop for? -Charlie stopped for 5 seconds. (13-8) 4. How long did Bob take to finish? -14 seconds 5. Calculate Albert’s average speed Avg speed = Total Distance Total time 100m = 8.33m/s 12s
